SheKnows has selected several 'Historic Families Whose Dramas We'd Love to See on TV', including
The Brontë Family
It goes without saying that you’ve probably read a tome or two by the Brontë sisters: Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Perhaps it was Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights. Let’s be real — if you’re a bookworm, it was definitely both. But have you ever stopped to wonder about the women behind these classic works?
For starters, they aren’t the only Brontë siblings. In addition to two other sisters who died in childhood, they had a brother, Branwell, who was quite a talented artist but plagued by addiction. The sisters started writing at an early age to pass the time, as they were often left home alone. And when they first began writing, they all published under male pseudonyms for fear of persecution. You try telling us that that's not the kind of stuff that would be perfect for a TV show! (Julie Sprankles)
They were often left home alone? Nah.
The Fordham Observer (The Student Voice of Fordham Lincoln Center) has one of its students tell her story.
So yeah. I went, and it was freaking awesome.
I took four courses that were of interest to me: London modernisms, Romantics and Revolutionaries, Victorian Fictions and Shakespeare. These classes involved reading plays, epic poems, modernist and Victorian novels. I was swimming in hundreds of pages of Brontë and George Eliot and I enjoyed every minute of it. Being engaged in conversation about London while being in London was for a lack of better words, completely inspiring. (Gumana Attal)
